Use igowin, beat it to the ground, then move on to 13x13 and finally 19x19. It takes a bit, but if u can get igowin below 10 kyu then its about time to play on a 19x19 board.

Whether it is meant as a joke or not, I say a big YES! This is the first skill to learn, thinking like that for every single move from move 1 until the very last move. This is in fact nothing else than "reading". While it seems so obvious, whenever I try to teach a beginner I recognize they often do not even try to read just one move ahead. If you think like that every single move, you will get a couple of stones stronger in no time.
